“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

"I'm not an abstractionist... I'm not interested in the relationship of color to form or anything else... I'm interested only in expressing basic human emotions - tragedy, ecstasy, and so on. And the fact that a lot of people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I can communicate those basic human emotions... The people who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience I had when I painted them. And if you are moved only by their color relationship, then you miss the point." - Mark Rothko
According to Mark-Rothko.org, he used "rectangles and luminous colors to evoke varied moods and emotions to the ones looking at these paintings." The organization recommends that viewers "study his works at a very close range" so they can feel and empathize with the emotions provoked by the paintings.
